Victory in the Pacific hinged on air power, as US Navy and Marine Corps fighter pilots battled Japanese Zeros in deadly dogfights over the Solomons, Leyte Gulf, and in the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot until air supremacy in the Pacific was won. Naval aviators of WW2 were issued the classic M-450 khaki cotton flight helmet for wear in warm weather. This US Navy USMC Marine WW2 F4U CORSAIR F6F HELLCAT PILOT M-450 KHAKI FLIGHT HELMET is in near mint condition, missing the chin cup, and... with a bit of loose seam stitching evident at the interior bottom left front corner (ALL pictured).
